Spending it on champagne, romantic retreats for two and lavish dinners?
I know I find it funny as all get out. They probably did too.
What do you think?

I find it hilarious as well,what I find even funnier is that the sheeple let themselves be taken like this time and time again. It simply never ends,one con artist after another and they fall for all of them,holy hell when will they learn?

Aww the poor sheeple will always be fleeced by the likes of those men and others like Jim Baker, Jimmy Swagert, and many more who capitalize on the gulibility of those who believe in fairy tales. Sad but true.

Ted Haggard is among the most wretched of criminals, for damning and humiliating innocent people, defrauding, putting his wife at physical risk, and ruining his children's lives -- all because of pride and greed. Obviously, he needed the drugs to keep himself apathetic. Of course there was laughter between him and Mike Jones. Jones is a professional entertainer, but I think he proved to have a conscience, whereas Haggard did not. I don't think Jones laughed at the money being stolen; he was sickened when he found out who "Art" (Haggard) was.

Well, first a person is allowed to do with their income as they so choose and I don't recall him being charged, yet, with embazzelmetn!
Next, say what you like about him, he SUPPORTED the Church stance and viewpoint.
All that makes him is a personal hypocrite, but then a lot of politicians do that.
There are Catholic politicians who vote FOR legalizing or liberalizing Abortions.
Christians are very divided over the death penalty, God's "thou shalt not kill" and Jesus "love thy enemy the most" not withstanding!
Does that make them hypocrites or do they put their constitutients above their own personal beliefs.
Haggard would not be in trouble if we had been honest since day one years ago.
There are lots of gay priests and ministors out here who are loved by the hetreo congregations because they were always above board.
Haggard is actually not guilty of much. Being in the closet. Not being forthright. None of those things are sins.
Is being gay or bi a sin, depends on the church and, yes, in his church it is considered wrong.
But he never SOLD OUT the church or the congreation, at least not as we know at this point.
He faithufulled served their interests, while persuing his own on his own free time and with his own earnings.
That last time I looked at that philosophy it was called professional ethics.
He separated church from living, of course all the chips haven't fallen yet and he may end up in hotter water if they investigate things, but what I say here is based on what we know today.

You are saying this guy gets up and rails against gay sex and then sneaks off with boyfriend to the condom shop with church goers cash laughing and saying "what they don't know"

No, as I understand it they were pretty methed up, so they probably just stayed up 'fixing' televisions, performing meaningless calculations, and giving each other 'back rubs'.

He probably didn't even make the connection. You know how deluded people are. They just don't see the connection.

Yes! All the way to the drug dealers house, and the adult novelty shop!
